I've been trying for 10+ years to get folks interested in helping me fix this (and a few other warts) in Pipermail, to not much success. ;/ >Anyhow, when I did that, I went back to a backup to get the original >article numbers, and edited the mbox file escaping From lines or >adding additional empty messages until the newly regenerated article >numbers matched the originals.

Hope you have a backup (or can find caches on >google or archive.org or something). bin/cleanarch uses a set of heuristics to find unescaped From lines and fix them. It's generally pretty good, but it certain can change message numbers (and sadly, their urls). -Barry
